Below, you will find all the Diablo 4 gems confirmed so far. Gems will definitely help you survive in the world of Sanctuary, as they can be used to upgrade jewellery, armour, and weapons.
The system of gems in the new Diablo game has been slightly changed. Whereas in Diablo 3 the bonuses could be quite different, such as extra gold from monsters or reduced cooldown of all skills, in Diablo 4 they increase attack stats for weapons, armour stats, and resistance stats for jewellery.

How to get gems in Diablo 4
There are two methods to get gems in Diablo 4:
- The first one is just to explore the world as they can be obtained as a reward for killing enemies or found in chests.
- The other method is to craft them. Even though the crafting system is something new in Diablo 4, it is pretty straightforward. You can upgrade gems to the next tier at the Jeweller by spending some gold and using three gems of the previous tier.
